In late March, the Australian Greens announced they would push for a $12.5 million investment to help complete structural building works at South Melbourne Town Hall, so that the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) could move back into its former home.
The Greens spokesperson for Arts and Communications, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, added: “The Greens are the party of the arts and we are proud to support one of Melbourne’s cultural icons. It’s an institution that promotes excellence in Australian classical music and creates jobs in our creative industries.”
